Your Happiness Is Your Own Responsibility.

And Now, I Still Really Don't Care That Much But Now I Have Music Playing All The Time At Home, Which Is A First For Me. Whatever. Everything From Ani Difranco To Dave Matthews To Jack Johnson And Norah Jones.

My Mother And Father Always Supported My Passion For Acting. I Think They Just Kind Of Expected Me To Move To New York And Become An Actress And Have All These Adventures.

I Am A Bit Of A Goody-goody. Not That There Aren't Times When I Think, I Was Kind Of An (ass) Today. I Work In A World In Which People Are Really Catered To; Someone Will Come Up To Me And Say, "is It Ok If This Person's Makeup Is Done Before Yours For The Premiere?"

We All Have A Responsibility To Volunteer Somewhere And I'm Lucky That I Get The Education And Get Taken To Places To See What's Out There And See What's Happening And To Then Be A Part Of It In Hopefully An Impactful Way.

My Mom Grew Up In Poverty In Oklahoma - Like Dust Bowl, Nine People In One Room Kind Of Place - And The Way She Got Out Of Poverty Was Through Education. My Dad Grew Up Without A Dad, With Very Little And He Also Made His Way Out Through Education.
